Emergency First Aid in The Workplace Certificate

Emergency First Aid Certification Course

First aid skills save lives. The first few minutes following an accident or other emergency are crucial and timely intervention can make all the difference.

Whatever your industry or professional background, knowing how to administer basic first aid will stand you in good stead to assist someone in need.

In this course, you will learn basic first aid techniques that you can use to treat casualties who are suffering from a variety of injuries and ailments, including burns, blood loss and shock.

You will learn how to assess an emergency situation, how to keep yourself safe and how to keep casualties as comfortable and safe as possible whilst waiting for professional help to arrive.

You Will Learn:

  • How to undertake a primary assessment of a casualty’s condition, how to employ the ABC protocol to gain an overview of the situation and how to place someone in the recovery position.
  • The purpose of CPR, when it is performed, how it is carried out and how the process must be modified to meet the needs of children, infants and pregnant women.
  • How to minimise blood loss if someone is bleeding, how to assess and bandage a wound, what to do if there is a foreign object embedded in a wound and how to identify and treat shock.
  • The difference between mild and severe cases of choking, how to identify instances of each and how to dislodge obstructions in both adults and children using appropriate combinations of back blows and abdominal thrusts.
  • How to cool and bandage a burn, how to minimise further skin damage, how to decide whether a burn warrants professional medical attention and what to bear in mind when assisting a casualty with chemical or electrical burns.
  • How to manage an incident, keep yourself and others safe when administering first aid and pass on relevant information to emergency services personnel.
  • How to identify the signs of a spinal injury, how to decide whether a head injury warrants professional medical attention and how to treat eye injury and irritation.
  • How to tell when someone has broken a bone, the symptoms and signs of a muscle sprain and how to help someone who has received an electric shock.
  • The most common symptoms of an epileptic attack, how to respond when someone has a seizure and the information you must record when someone has a fit.
  • How to remember and identify the signs of a heart attack or stroke and when to summon help.

Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • You will be able to judge whether professional medical assistance is required.
  • You will be able to guide others in an emergency situation and pass on your knowledge to others in the workplace.

Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

The course is broken down into 10 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

Once you have completed all 10 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 10 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

The pass mark for the test is 70%.

If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

Once you have been awarded your certificate it is valid for life. The certificate does not expire or need renewing.

I have always had an interest in property and estate management. I was unsure how to get my career started in this field without any experience or qualifications in that area. Also, having three children and a full time job limits my ability to attend to college courses. The online system they have at "New Skills Academy" is so straight forward and easy to use. I'm really enjoying learning and expanding my knowledge at my own pace and in my own time. Getting started was so straightforward, I even read over material during swimming lessons and the school run. I'm already looking for the next course to start!

Excellent course was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed completing it. Compiled of perfect size modules – not too long or short, to the point and excellent value for money.

Great idea to be able to print off each module to not only keep but to be able to refer to for the final exam at the end. Would highly recommend anyone who owns a pet of any type as all the information is relative all round. Great for anyone setting up a business involving pets just as much as a pet owner.

Course run very well and easy to access.

I started the HR Management Diploma Level 2 – CPD Certified & IVCAS Accredited in November 2016, and I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life.

Everything I have learnt here, every lesson, has been practical and useful, with real skills that are relevant to the real world, instead of hours of boring theory and history of the subject. Straight away we were learning real web design.

This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 4 of the 20 modules.

Chloe Gibson

This was a brilliant course that was easy to understand and fits into your lifestyle by being able to access at times that suits you. I needed a refresher course and this ticked all the boxes. One area which I was not aware of was the Employment Allowance Incentive but I now understand this fully. It is also good information on record keeping along with Data Protection. I highly recommend this course and it doesn't have to be expensive to do. The fact that you get a Diploma Certificate at the end only enhances your CV and gives you a sense of satisfaction.

Donna Raynes

Great course, lots of really good information which I could take my time over reading and making notes. I could then understand and learn through the content. It has definitely already helped my teaching and will continue to be a source of reference.

Harriet More

Very interactive and quick to complete, highly recommended to anyone that is looking to further their knowledge. An excellent online course for CV’s and developing your skills. Fantastic for the money and worth taking time to complete with online help and notes to guide you through it.

New Skills Academy have recently won two high profile awards and after taking their online course you know the reason behind it with high quality course structure and accessibility.
All their courses have an excellent pass rate so it is suitable for everyone whether you are academic or not, which I find very good.
